Ralph Gonsalves was hoping to divide and rule St Vincent and the Grenadines and create anarchy to divert attention to get his own way to take us into communism. He failed miserably, as Vincentians caught on to him before he knew it. The fact that the Labour Party sat idly by and let this happen bewilders me. read more...

I am really concerned about Prime Minister, Dr Ralph Gonsalves of St Vincent and the Grenadines. I am concerned about him because I believe he is under tremendous pressure to get certain things done before 'all things fall apart' and that's why he must be successful with this referendum on November 25. read more...

Politics make very strange bedfellows; when Ralph Gonsalves was in Opposition he went out of his way to make sure Parnell Campbell begs his bread, well PR you doing a very good job at it. Ralph went to Parliament to try to impeach Parnell when he was Attorney General. Parnell is now putting his hand in fire. read more...

I read with interest in Caribbean Net News, which is on the ball with regional news, that CARICOM will send a team to St Vincent to observe the Referendum. This is good news.

Once a process that manifested a rare show of political bi-partisanship by the two major political parties in St Vincent and the Grenadines, the fate of the country’s Constitutional Bill 2009 is now being fought in vigorous yes and no camps.

As we draw closer to the Referendum date, I consider the draft constitution more and more.

I write to express my disgust with the way the government in St Vincent and the Grenadines is handling the Yes Vote.
